This php code shows me the content of a directory on my website:

<?php
 $dir = opendir(getcwd());
 ?>
<body>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
<?php
  while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
      {
            echo "<td>". $file ."</td>";
    }       
  }
  closedir($dir);
?>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</body>

It puts the results in a table.
The problem is that the PHP code generates a <td> tag and store the results in it. So the final table has one <tr> and as many <td> tags as there are results.

What I want to have is a table with 3 columns (3 td) per each line (tr tag).

Is there a way to make the table dynamic and for each third <td> tag turns to be a <tr> tag
so the results look like this: (click here)

Instead of looking like this: (click here)

    try this:

    <?php
 $dir = opendir(getcwd());
 ?>
<body>
<table>
    <tbody>

<?php
  $n = 0;
  while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false) {
      {
           if($n%3 == 0){echo "<tr>";}
           echo "<td>". $file ."</td>";
           $n++;
    }       
  }
  closedir($dir);
?>

</tbody>
